      update text to the best of both definitions and make the pages the same

      as for enumerations; real terminologists would never use that word. but implementers have enumerations every where, and they're all little code systems. Calling this out is very deliberate.

      Value Set Section 4.8.1

      Definition of code system and value set do not match the definitions on the code system page.

      Value Set Page

      CodeSystem - defines a set of codes with meanings (also known as enumeration, terminology, classification, and/or ontology) - e.g. define which codes (symbols and/or expressions) exist, and how they are understood

      ValueSet - selects a set of codes from those defined by one or more code systems to specify which codes can be used in a particular context

      _ Code System page: _

      code system - defines a set of codes with meanings (also known as enumeration, terminology, classification, and/or ontology)

      value set - selects a set of codes from those defined by one or more code systems

      Note: the definition of ValueSet in the description and constraints column is _A set of codes drawn from one or more code systems. _This is yet another definition.

      Requested change:

      Update both pages to include the official definitions from the glossary. Not only in the summary sections, but on the elements.

      Question whether the text (also known as enumeration ) is correct for code system. Where are code systems also called enumerations?
